Stacie Hankins,
the Consular Chief, United States Embassy has disclosed new changes in
its non-immigrant visa application on
Tuesday in Abuja that takes effect from November 8, 2014.
She also said that
the document and distribution partnership has added a new location in Port
Harcourt, while applicants can now collect their visas from any of the three
locations Abuja, Lagos or Port Harcourt.
Also the applicants,
who have met the requirements for the drop box renewal, can also submit their
passports and applications to the DHL collection centre in Port Harcourt. However, the processing time for Port Harcourt will take one
extra day as against that of Abuja and Lagos, which usually takes two days. She
said.
Moreover, she stated that the embassy, in its bid to make application processing faster and efficient, all potential non-immigrant visa applicants must henceforth include the correct confirmation number from their DS-160 online application form as part of the required information to schedule interview.
